Ok, so I don’t usually write about tech stuff, but this caught my attention.
It’s a so called google pack of “useful, free software for your PC.” Now, I don’t know about you, but google seems to be getting too full of itself. It does things so well and efficiently. Harry Truman said that “when ever you have an efficient government you have a dictatorship.” I think that applies to big, seemingly benign software companies, too.
I think google is going to be trouble some day. That’s just me…
Well, evidently the cats weren’t going to be a temporary babysitting gig that I arranged to do in a drunken stupor, and are going to be a permanent concern. Of such, we have added names to Popopolese’s siblings, Apollo, Notapollo, and Rosie.
We determined yesterday that we were going to keep a second cat, to keep Popopo company. The now departed Jdub and gang have decided to take Rosie (thanks Jdub!), and we’re with Apollo (named by MastaG in keeping with the whole Greek thing that Pigpen started yesterday, and Notapollo, named after the fact that it looks a lot like Apollo. In fact, the best way to tell which is with is with watching behavior.
If the cat is trying to kick Popopolese’s ass,
Then it is Apollo.
If the cat is doing much of anything else,
Then it is Notapollo.
I’ll tell you my big obstacle in all of this, and it is rooted in my prejudices and what not, and that is that I have always prided myself in not likeing animals, but secretly enjoying having them around, as long as they don’t piss me off. I guess I’m out of the closet.
But enough of that crap. The fact is, this house is barely big enough to sustain 4 humans, adding 3 cats is straining it too much. We gotta get rid of Notapollo, I think. We’ve been looking, but still no takers.
Update: Couple hours later:
After a nap, Notapollo is right up there with the rest of them, except he prefers to scrap with Apollo.
